Just for kicks I ruu'd my Eris and installed https://android.clients.google.com/...Verizon_WWE_2.37.605.4_2.36.605.1_release.zip as update.zip in recovery. When I tried the current rooting method it worked first time.:D

Neither HBoot 1.49 s-on nor recovery changed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] stormtrader:
MD5 for update.zip

Do you have the MD5 for update.zip
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Thanks for testing that, silverramsrt.

Pretty awesome - a universal Eris root.

If I get some time today, I'll check to see if it works for 1.5 as well.

It seems that the whole thing could also be made SDK-free, too (avoid using adb); perhaps by using GDE lite.

That would simplify things for folks. (I went through the SDK install on a new install of Win7 x64 Pro two days ago, and it seems like hand editing of the .inf is the only way to get the SDK USB driver installed.) While having the SDK installed is pretty handy for a variety of reasons, it still is a major obstacle for command-line newbs who simply want to root their phone and install a ROM.

There was a modified .inf file for download in Captainkrtek's first post on root for leakers but from what everyone was saying the default drivers worked just as well. I installed the modified drivers on Win 7 64 three weeks ago when I rooted. So I went back and looked at Captainkrtek's post today and noticed he removed the link to the modified file. Editing posts to keep them current has some draw backs.

[Droid Eris Android Development] stormtrader:
Thanks, That worked
[Droid Eris Android Development] bugger561:
So I flashed the update.zip by n8thegr8, here are my new specs:

Firmware version
2.1

Baseband version
2.42.00.04.27

Kernal version
2.6.29
zanfur@gandalf #46

Build number
2.36.605.1 jcase release-keys

Software number
2.36.605.1

Browser version
WebKit 3.1

PRI version
2.11_002

PRL version
51920

ERI version
5

The only thing now is that Super User permissions will not work, and I can't seem to find the command to re-enable it.

I tried using adb hsell and then these two commands, but this is all I get

C:\android-sdk_r05-windows\tools>adb shell
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtd3 /system
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtd3 /system
# chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
#
[Droid Eris Android Development] kzoodroid:
Thats all you should get. The permissions should be reset now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bugger561:
I guess I have to redo the root process , I upgraded the SU app I had to this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828 and now Titanium Backup is telling me that it could not get root access.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kzoodroid:
All I did was install the update and then run the commands to reset the su permissions and I was back in business.

I have no clue as to what affect changing the superuser app would have on the old permissions or the ability to reset them.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bugger561:
I'm just going to go ahead and reflash my rom. Thank you for the help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n8thegr8:
you shouldn't have to reflash the whole rom. At most, just try reinstalling engtools3.zip. That should take care of any permissions issues.

EDIT: also, with titanium backup in particular, you may need to re-run the busybox install by clicking on the middle button (says help or something to that effect).
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nimado:
Now I had read a thread in Eris general, is this update mandatory or optional?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bugger561:
Oh well, when I re-flashed I kept all the new specs that I posted and got prompted to install the update, however I got the same "not signed" error as the first time I tried it. As far as I can tell, everything works fine again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rasjacob:
Is it better to run the update.zip in this tread or just to flash the new radio? Are there other benefits in this update.zip? Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mskash:
I had to flash the update zip and then reflash my rom. I have the new radio now, but I don't see any change in signal. I'll have to try a few incoming and outgoing phone calls to see if the silent bug problem is still there.

P.s: After reflashing my rom all my apps are still there and working.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BlazinDANDAMAN:
Just flashed this from Recovery...very easy...I have noticed my signal is stronger now. Love these updates...thx!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
So I did this and it did update my Radio, but the software version is still the same, not matching what was discussed earlier. I'm guessing the ROM cooks will have to embed the fixes into their next releases... Is that true?
[Droid Eris Android Development] dabomb697:
Yup PlainJane 2.0 already has it included. I'm sure the other devs will follow suit.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
THANK YOU bftb0!
[Droid Eris Android Development] WesleyGator:
Does this update fix the time without signal problem? I'm getting sick of using the Airplane Mode trick...haha.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n8thegr8:
not sure, worth a try though. There were a fairly large number of patched files, so there's a good chance that it was fixed between the patches and the radios.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
hi does anyone happen to have link or the file all links are dead i really need this file thanks!!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Interesting bug I've run into over the past few days: Whenever my phone screen turns on because of an incoming call, text message, etc. (aka, turns itself on, not me pushing the power button), the screen does not respond at all to touch input for the screen, or the home, menu, back, and search buttons. The only way to get it to start acknowledging input is to push the power button and cycle the screen off and on. Of course the downside to this is that it will reject the incoming call and send it straight to voicemail.

Does anyone else have this problem, or know of a solution? I don't have any apps actively running when this happens as I use ATK fairly aggressively. ROM and kernel details are in my signature.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bohemus:
I've unlocked the bootloader, flashed a custom recovery, and flashed a rooted ROM. I was wondering if there is a way to reverse all of those changes and go back to the way it was when I received it from the factory.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No.

You can flash back the original recovery and ROM, but you can't relock the bootloader.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SphericalPuma:
While you can't re-lock the bootloader, you can do everything else to make it like you just got it:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bohemus:
Thanks for the replies. Is there any reason to go back to the stock recovery?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You can answer this - is there any reason to revert to stock ROM? :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bohemus:
Going to sound strange, but stock feels faster to me in terms of the ui. Linpack scores aside, I'd rather have a smooth feel to the phone. I've tried cm6 and it didn't seem to offer an improvement. Enom's was very good, but still felt slower than stock. I know everyone has their opinions on rom's and their specific likes. This just happens to be my observation.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
In that case, just flash a stock rooted ROM using custom recovery, and you're set.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
An only mildly modified Froyo is Geo411m's build. It's very similar to stock, so you may want to give his a try before you revert back to complete stock. I used this with great results prior to CM6.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bohemus:
Will do, thanks. On a side note, any suggested rom's I might want to try knowing that ui speed is my main priority?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
The Geo411m one that I linked. The task killer tweaks make it pretty darn fast. Also try flashing one of Pershoot's kernels. His latest one works great. Click link in my signature for the download page.

How did you get the "H" in the new radio version you are running in your sig?

There are an H and a U Radio Version. Last i heard we do not know the difference, unless someone can clear it up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trhonda2000:
So I got all my contacts from my TP2 bluetoothed to my EVO. Then I did the HTCSync and now have duplicate contacts. Is there an app anyone has had success with to delete duplicates? I loved the Microsoft Myphone on TP2 that I could operate online, but wouldn't mind a direct phone app. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeknoJnky:
if your syncd with google, you can open the contacts within gmail and use the 'find duplicates' button.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOKeith:
Thank you so much for this. I want to have your babies.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trhonda2000:
Well all my contacts aren't syncing with Google, just my contacts that were already on Google. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
it seems you may have imported all your contacts into the "phone address book". then depending on your level of paranoia...you can leave them there or migrate them to google servers for safe keeping.

assuming you are connected to an exchange server...if you are not, then simply ignore any references to it.

on the EVO...export all available contacts to file (should be two or three csv files when you are done. (google address book, phone address book, exchange address book).

you can import them into google and then use the 'find duplicates' tool and whatnot to clean up the list. do the same with your exchange by cleaning up your Outlook Contacts. not sure why you'd want to the local phones address list or the best way to manage it.

viola. cleaned up contacts. syncing to both exchange and gmail. this way you can finally remove your private/personal contacts from exchange and/or your work contacts from your personal gmail account.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisSmithWebGuy:
Another alternative is a new service from Scrubly. The service scans and removes duplicate contacts from your Outlook, Gmail and Google Apps accounts. The nice thing about this service is that it gives you the option of viewing the contacts to be merged in advance and picking and choosing the info you want to merge so you have complete control over the merged data. It also keeps a backup of your contacts.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezio2:
i Can't Thank You Enough Mann !!! :)

i had around 700 contacts which duplicated many a times to some 3000.... :silly:

[myTouch 3G Slide General] nikmash232:
Is it faster than the droid? Because right now I have the mytouch 3g and it is very slow. I saw my friend's droid and it is pretty fast. So I was wondering if the Mytouch 3g Slide is comparable to the droid.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jriv:
I think its better the keyboard is way better its more spaced out. You will be suprised on how fast this phone is it really does fly its a great phone I haven't missed my mytouch 3g one bit!

sent from my rooted slide running cm6
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Its way faster than a regular mytouch I came from a cliq xt and before that a regular mytouch sure this phone does not have a 1ghz processor but I have experienced no lag what-so-ever in my opinion I think you should definetly get this phone if not a nexus one if u can, but this phone will get froyo and altough I know there are better phones out there I will stick to this phone for a while, so yes you should get the mytouch 3g slide, and it is faster than the droid plus the slide has awesome features like faves(20) people and has the genius button so you should get this phone
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Joe333x:
lol please dont tell people they should get the phone because of the genius button. That is such a waste of a hardware button, I could see it being an icon on the screen but not a button. I attempted to make use of it by trying to use it when ever possible but in the end its faster to just do it your self than try and get the crappy voice recognition software to actually do what you want it to. When I finally get around to rooting I will be making the button an "end call" button.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] TakoLuffer:
Just as fast as the Evo and Droid incred :D trust me lol make sure u use a taskiller tho the mts seems to hoard n open random applications

[HD2 General] lynxboy:
I originally started my love affair with Windows Mobile in my early teens when I received a Compaq Ipaq for which I had no real need for at the time. I then progressed to an Artemis (XDA Orbit), later a Touch Cruise (XDA Orbit 2) and finally last year a Rhodium (Touch Pro 2). While aware of Android's rise, and almost purchasing a Hero at the time I bought my Rhodium, I stuck to what I knew best.

At the time I believed my choice to have been the correct one. While the Hero looked pretty cool, I couldn't leave behind WM. I thought the TouchFlo 3D/Sense was beautiful (weather animations!), if only skin deep, and apps such as Coreplayer and FPSCE reinforced my belief that WM was still a relevant OS.

That was until I started playing around with the XDAndroid Port.

It was then I saw the potential of Android. The highly customisable interface, social network/google account integration, the awesome apps on the market and the speed of the webkit based browser! Everytime I returned to Windows Mobile I felt underwhelmed. I was never a fan of the iPhone however understood it had changed the game in regards to smartphones. Android was the best of both worlds, open source with a great community, fully touch UI with a growing appstore gaining support from major brands/developers.

While the Rhodium port was gathering pace, it was suffering from power management issues, backlight/wifi problems and most importantly, no sound. I knew from experience with the Touch Cruise that the progress was going to be slow but how long before a fully working port was available was anyones guess (Still not there!). It was then that I decided my days with Windows Mobile were coming to an end. Google had recently released the Nexus One which for me was perfect and after a few weeks of deliberating I made the jump and have never looked back.

Now I was always a vociferous defender of Windows Mobile but from the moment I got my first real taste of Android, I saw it for what it was. It hadn't really changed since that Compaq Ipaq and was so out of date it almost smelt off! I still have a soft spot for it, hence my lurking around the old boards seeing how you're all getting on. Since I heard about the breakthrough regarding the HD2 Android Port i've been looking on with great interest. It's fun reading through the threads and seeing people going through the same process that I did only a few months before.

Now I've seen a few posts where people have already stated that they are now seriously considering selling their HD2 and moving on to a "real" Android phone. My question is, how many more of you are there? Have any other people had the same change of heart now they have seen the possiblities?

Regards.
[HD2 General] rjstep3:
From the title of this article, I thought you meant the iphone 4!!

WM still does it for me - a mobile office, not a silly teenager's tweeting toy, it's still good, and I will use my remaining WM 6.x gadgets as long as they hold out.

When that happens which is probably in a year's time, I'll see what the market looks like, right now, it looks like it will mean a move to Android, but you never know WP7 might come through.

You never know, the iphone 4 may turn out to be a good phone.

[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
I probably will. I like stability and if Android can stop my soft resets I'll be happy. Plus, I miss the apps. Even though it's infuriating to download the most popular task manager in the market place and to discover it has ads. Then you download the next one down and it also has ads.
[HD2 General] :
I may be a little blind but Im sitting on the fence as Im sure many others are-

At the moment I have an unlocked HD2 for AT&T. This present me the following options:

1. Hold onto it for its beautiful screen, sexy home page, and accept the clunky deeper interface that is wm6.5 (Not trying to bash, its just not meant for finger friendly, and im also one of the users who suffers from slow texting issues and quick battery drains. Yes, ive tried the roms. Moving on.) The fact that I follow the Android for HD2 thread religiously shows that I am in the Android fan corner for HD2. This fact alone is one huge reason for staying power. Android on HD2 would extend the life of the HD2 dramatically. Meanwhile, WM6.5's screens past the homepage arent going to be getting any prettier.

2. Sell my HD2 :( Buy a Samsung Captivate since its AT&T's first true Android Smartphone and is getting rave reviews. Use my phone upgrade to get an Iphone4 for cheap, turn right around and sell it for 600 bucks (Yes, two have just sold in Phoenix for this much as well as on eBay). Be happy with my new Android phone and some extra spending cash for apps :D:D

3. Hold onto my HD2 until WP7 arrives and determine if I will use my upgrade for a new WP. If WP7 turns out to not be my cup of tea (But come on, XBOX Live and Zune integration? Im pretty much sold on that alone :)) with any of the phones offered, then I shall resort to either option 1 or 2 above. I am still a huge fan of Windows Mobile, and I realize WP7 will be more akin to Apple in terms of closed source, but WP7 is what Windows needed to do. They needed to redo the deeper menus and make WM more finger friendly. Its the right step and I just hope they nail it.

Either way, Ive got my choices and am still completely on the fence. I just played around with the Captivate today and its quite an amazing and speedy phone. Not nearly as sexy as the HD2, but the functionality out of the box just felt great.

Im sure many of you are on the same fence as me and I wish you all the best in making your choice. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] redfrontdoor:
My contract runs out in Oct for my HD2 and I'll probably switch. Thats unless Navionics release their seachart app on Windows Mobile. if they do I'll just change to a sim only deal.
[HD2 General] jeffrey92:
I bought the HD2 a few days ago on ebay. So far I've really enjoyed HTC sense and some other features

but the one thing I don't think I can live with is the crappy email program that comes with the phone. I absolutely hate it.

Generally speaking, I was impressed with winmo and found myself liking it despite all the negative reviews.

But I think I might switch over to the iphone.. plenty of apps, works pretty well with gmail... Otherwise I'll get some other android phone with HTC sense since thats really is a big thing for me. that and the led flash

I'm going on a 3 week trip to Europe... I guess I'll check out how far along the ports have come and then make my final decision then.
[HD2 General] eenbox:
I disagree ... I was playing with Verizon's Droid X which is coming out soon - practically HD2 with Android (like EVO) and I'll tell you what: Android is one choppy OS - transitions wise iPhone wins all the way - I have HD2 and I am happy with it... it simply has better transitions then Android and what that means to the end user is most of the phone... If there is customization but the choppy one - no one will stick with it... And if 1GHz is not enough to make it smooth - I do not know then what is needed to make it smooth...
[HD2 General] lynxboy:
Great feedback guys! Just want to make it clear that in no way am I bashing the HD2 or WinMo, I just want to gather how many people who are using the Android port are now considering making a permanent switch. Obviously if a stable daily use ROM becomes available you won't have that problem (and I may even consider switching to HD2!!), but I succumbed to my impatience once I found myself using the unstable port more than my native WinMo OS.

Thanks for the response.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
Android on HD2 isn't stable yet and won't be for a while.

I already had an Android phone before the HD2. I'm not really into the 'apps' scene or into social networking apps or games on my phone, so there isn't really much in Android for me. The google apps were better and it didn't slow down on txt messages.. but that's about it.

Android wouldn't play many video formats.. not sure if it could access my file server.. the pdf reader was poor quality.. the browser would forget all my tabs when memory ran low (probably not an issue on HD2..).. apps still crashed..

Despite WM's lack of polish in the UI and other things, I think I still like WM more. I'll probably still use WM more even if I install Android.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
Just got 3 hd2's for the family. Wanted the highest spec'd winmo phone to give wp7 a chance. I haven't been that impressed with Android, apps still crash and with cht and max sense, I don't see what an android phone can do that my hd2 can't. Would never switch to at&t.
